A no-code calendar per room type — block dates, set rates, no PMS required.
Your rate. Your pin. Your guest.
The direct rate, right where guests are looking.
A booking engine built around your place, not a rigid template you have to work around — secure Stripe payments, your live rate on Google Maps, and a booking page that's actually yours. Free to set up. You only pay when a guest pays you.

Not a hotel? We already support campsites, glamping and farm-stays out of the box — tell us what kind of place you run and we'll set it up right.
Ask for what you need. Our tech team builds it in.
No rigid settings menu to work around — DirectBooking is built to be shaped around your place, not the other way round. If your booking page needs something specific, our tech team builds it in.
YouCan we add a checkbox to charge €5 for electric hookups?

A Google Hotel Center connectivity partner for independent properties.
DirectBooking is a booking platform for independent hotels, campgrounds and vacation rentals. We connect to Google through the Google Hotel Prices / Hotel Center API and deliver verified, real-time room rates and availability straight from each property's own calendar — so accurate direct pricing appears on Google Maps and Google Search.
Accurate rates for Google
Every price comes from the property's live calendar, so the rate on Google Maps matches the rate at checkout — no stale or bait pricing.
More complete listings
Small properties that never showed a bookable price now surface with a real direct rate, making Google's hospitality results richer and more useful.
A transparent booking path
Guests click through to the property's own checkout and book directly, with clear pricing and no hidden OTA markup.
We follow Google's Hotel Ads and Hotel Prices policies: published prices are accurate, every landing page matches the quoted rate, and each listing maps to a verified physical business location.
We do the heavy lifting. You just say what you want.
Switching platforms shouldn't mean a technical project. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.
01
Say hello
Send us a link to your current website (or just tell us about your place) — no technical setup on your end.
02
We build it
Our tech team builds you a brand-new, mobile-friendly booking page, wired to live rates and your calendar — free.
03
You customize
Tell us how you want pricing, upsells and extras structured. Need something specific? Ask — we build it in.
04
We launch
We connect Google Maps and Stripe. You go live, and only pay 1% once a guest actually pays you.
Included free for every host — hosting and updates, for as long as you're on the platform. It only moves to a paid Cloudflare plan if your traffic outgrows the free tier.
What you keep. What we handle.
Switching to DirectBooking doesn't mean handing over your business.
You keep
- Your brand, your photos, your voice
- Your pricing — set it, change it, run promos, anytime
- Your guest relationship and their data
- Your payouts, straight to your own Stripe account
We handle
- Hosting — your booking page, live and kept up to date
- Google Maps & Search sync via Hotel Center
- Payments plumbing — Stripe Connect, 1% fee, done
- Cloudflare setup — do it yourself, or ask us to
Questions independent hosts always ask.
What happens to my current website?
Send us the link — there's a spot for it on the get-started form — and our tech team uses it as a starting point when we build your new booking page, free. No old site? That's fine too, we build from scratch.
Can I leave anytime?
Yes. There's no contract and no lock-in — DirectBooking is pay-as-you-book, a flat 1% only on confirmed bookings. Stop using it whenever you want; you don't owe anything for months you don't take a booking.
Do I lose control of my guest data?
No. Your bookings and guest details stay in your own account — either the central platform or your own Cloudflare database if you go fully independent — and payouts land directly in your own Stripe account. We never sell or share guest data.
What if I need something custom later?
Ask. That's the whole point of working with a tech team instead of off-the-shelf software — if your booking page needs something specific, we build it in.
Pay only when you get paid.
No subscription, no setup fee, no lock-in. One flat 1% per booking.
